Understanding connectivity of marine organisms is necessary for determining the appropriate scale of conservation and management strategies. For species that inhabit both the coastal ocean and partially enclosed water bodies (i.e., estuaries or fjords), this information is even more critical since estuaries and fjords are often characterized by hydrological complexities which can limit dispersal potential and promote population subdivision. In this study, genetic connectivity of Dungeness crab Cancer magister in Puget Sound and coastal Washington, USA, was examined to test the hypothesis of genetic structure in partially enclosed versus open environments. Dungeness crab that were sampled at five sites in Puget Sound in 2015 and three sites in coastal Washington in 2014 were genotyped at ten microsatellite loci. Researchers observed similar levels of heterozygosity and allelic richness within Puget Sound and coastal Washington. Pairwise FST estimates indicated that Hood Canal was significantly differentiated from other Puget Sound sites, except Nisqually, suggesting larval retention within the Hood Canal basin. No evidence for significant genetic differentiation was found among the four remaining Puget Sound sites or among the three coastal sites. Analysis of molecular variance indicated that, in aggregate, Puget Sound sites significantly differed from coastal sites. On a site by site basis, researchers found evidence for significant differentiation between three sites in Puget Sound and coastal Washington. Based upon the observed patterns of genetic differentiation, findings did not support researchers' hypothesis of restricted genetic connectivity within Puget Sound, with the exception of Hood Canal. However, the results demonstrate that there is stronger genetic connectivity within Puget Sound and coastal Washington than between these two areas.

Ok, shakes down like this. While lefty blogs today talk about a complete 180 done by Mr. Ken Taftwell on his abortion position (BSB, PB), the wingnuts are all up in arms over a figure of speech. You know, when I say I will take you on anytime, anywhere? I probably don't mean 3am GMT at the North Pole. But, by god, if that is what you say you want, then I FLIP FLOPPED damnit! LMFAO. I'm dyin' over here.
Somebody get these guys some binkies. Do we see a pattern here?
Here's the thing fellas. No matter how many times you say Stricknyne, flip-flop, chickenshack, or the plethora of other clever little things ya'll come up with…one thing will remain: Strickland 53%, Taftwell 37%. You know when you are up by 16, with time running out and the other team starts cheering a dunk on your boy? You start yelling "Scoreboard…Scoreboard…Scoreboard". All together now!
…and it wasn't even a dunk – more like a blown layup! Suck it up fellas…long ass summer ahead! The thing you forget when it comes down to this when and where shit is, the person with the 16 point lead has more political capital. You believe in political capital, right? Hell, ya'll think 2% is enough to go off and start unilateral wars…so you'll pardon me if I don't feel sympathy for your debate when and where woes.
LOL. Are we having fun yet?
"Survey USA numbers are the polling equivalent of a college professor's quote. That is, for lazy reporters they offer the ring of authenticity while in reality being cheap, uninformed, unreliable and meaningless."
– Jim Jordan, the former executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and campaign manager for John Kerry
Eric! Glad you stopped by…or spoke up as it were. Got any quotes on Rasmussen? Bad news, bro. Don't matter how you choose to spin, spin, spin it!
See ya in November brother!
…and I take it you are conceding the flip flop race?

Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by B-Blue, Oct 1, 2008.
A German localized version of My French Coach, eh?}
How about a Dutch localized version of My Spanish/Chinese/Japanese Coach?
(Lol, I first thought it said Mein Frambosich Coach, a Germanized version of the Dutch word for Raspberry )
im still waiting for my japanese coach....
does anybody know if there will be a "my korean coach"?
Miruki would be impressed with this, given how infrequently there are German releases for games.
Of course, it wouldn't be anything she'd want to begin with.
It's probably not popular enough to be made.
I second that.
where is my japanese coach! it's the only game of the series i am really interested in!
i can only hope because of the delay its going to be EXTRA GREAT!

Getting your 'text game' ideal is crucial to development the interaction concerning you along with a female you want. A single dodgy joke she would not get or an accidental demonstration of 'neediness' therefore you find yourself starring at your mobile phone all day wanting to know why she hasn't replied. Sound acquainted? Then not surprisingly, you make the error of texting back straight away quickly accepting her lame apology of "Sorry I have not replied, have not checked my cellphone all day"... yeah correct! If you're having difficulties to figure out 'what to text a girl', you should not fail to remember to determine 'how to textual content a girl'. Let's deal with both equally of those troubles...
Firstly, let's glimpse at ways to textual content a lady you like:
# You have to normally have a very purpose. Regardless of whether it is really demonstrating that you're a high-value alpha male, developing consolation involving the two of you, entertaining the the two of you, qualifying her to indicate that you're examining to discover if she is the right lady for you personally (not another way all over), or just arranging to fulfill up. For those who don't have any reason; do not textual content her. You're texting to meet your objective, which is it.
Secondly, we are going to look at what to text a lady you prefer:
# Preferably, you desire to text her one thing she can not help but reply to. Don't ignore, your texts must match your objective. For instance, should you be hunting to exhibit your superior worth, you are able to send out anything alongside the strains of "I just made you look at your telephone for no rationale!... Seems to be like I have acquired you in check:)" This type of information portrays self-confidence, somewhat of cocky-funny, and that you're up for getting a joke along with her and teasing her.
Another good technique when picking what to text a woman you want would be to use 'callback-humour'. This can be if you talk about something which occurred involving the 2 of you, or perhaps make use of a nickname you've specified her. As an example, "How lots of favourite 'insert nickname' performing currently?"
Maybe, you need to create comfort and ease together with the woman you like, because you don't know one another that very well. Deliver some thing like "You is not going to consider the desire I'd last night time!"...then just elaborate and improvise.
Whichever angle you end up picking to engage in, will not neglect that deciding what to text the lady you want is both equally an art along with a science. Your artwork is available in the form of improvisation and creative imagination; be exceptional and tailor your texts in your authentic everyday living scenarios. The science comes from the system of choosing upon your function for texting her, and write your messages appropriately.
Texting Theory one: Present Some Personality
I recall I utilized to invest hours thinking about the ideal to start with text. After which you can it'd normally wind up remaining a thing like "what's up?" or "hey, excellent to fulfill ya". I didn't choose to chance it by using a woman I liked. But each person texts her similar to this, and exactly what does this give her to go on? Why should really she get smitten by responding to a little something like this? Instead, your attitude with just about each text message you send needs to be "how am i able to make her smile with what I am about to generate?" If you can just retain this in mind then you can expect to begin doing a lot superior with texting women. Find out about the first textual content message to send into a woman.
Texting Principle 2: Be considered a Challenge (But Playfully)
I'm sure you like her therefore you want to move points along. But maintain your horses, cowboy. Really don't make points as well uncomplicated for her. She's planning to imagine that you've got received practically nothing improved occurring. During the early phases, do not textual content her again right away - wait around concerning the exact same time it took her to put in writing again to you. And when it arrives time for you to inquire a woman out, tease her - "OK, we can head out, but just do not embarrass me with any tube stockings;) " She'll appreciate the playful problem. You furthermore mght may possibly want to learn to flirt which has a woman above text.
Texting Principle 3: Really don't Attempt to Demonstrate Something
Plenty of men screw up below. They struggle to point out the lady which they are "cool" on account of the party they are intending to, the men and women they know, the matters they're doing. That is definitely all perfectly and excellent - occasionally I will text a girl that I am "only going to the most pleasurable bar on world earth" - but notice I said pleasurable - not most special or coolest. Huge difference. For those who end up thinking "she'll be amazed by this" then do not ship the text concept. Try to remember - how can you make her smile?

I never knew what "Huat Ah" means. Was wondering the meaning when everyone wishes me that. Then, a friend told me that "Huat" means "Fa" or "Fatt", which means prosperity.
And being a working adult, their well wishes are mostly, "Be prosperous". Not that is bad, just feeling different. When I was much younger, CNY is all about fun and collecting ang pows. Never really bother about prosperity. Prosperity is good, but treat prosperity wise too.
But anyways, Chinese New Year is not all about being prosperous. It is also the time to spend time with your loved ones.
Had reunion dinner with the bf's family for the 2nd time. The food were awesome! =D Then, the bf drove me back to Kuantan and spent the first day of CNY with me and my family for the first time. Had an awesome time together though.
2nd day of CNY is the most meriah one, when my relatives came down from Singapore, JB and KL. Of course, it gets more meriah when we have our 2 lil cousins along. =)
Amanda and Tarnia greeted us with "Gong Xi Fa Cai!" and they cheered us up with their big bright happy smiles!
Our reunion dinner mainly falls on the 2nd or 3rd day of CNY where everybody is back home. The food, oh so yummilicious Hainanese food!
sometimes, its also great hanging out with extended relatives too.
On the 3rd day of CNY, we went for our usual beach outing as the cousins loves the beach. This time we headed over to Pantai Sepat. It's been awhile since I been there. It's clean and not crowded!
This is also the best opportunity to practice my photography skills. Still bad, but I think it's okay for a nooby like me. I was using daddy's Nikon D90. Some pictures are taken by my sister using uncle's Nikon D3100. Also, from here I learnt that taking pictures in RAW and just JPEG has difference especially when it comes to editing.
I thought I have mastered the knowledge of Shutter speed and Aperture, but whenever I hold a DSLR, I fail to understand. Settings will never get right! Anyways, way way way way way lots to learn!
Amanda and Tarnia enjoying the waves.
I like the blue sky. Haha, edited it! With RAW, the sky can turn blue when I edit. Without RAW, no matter how much I enhance, the sky will never turn blue but the sea will turn as muddy as it can.
I have watched somewhere on YouTube, that, do not glue onto your handphone and ignore the guests.
Well, they are the guests. And they are all on the phone. Even Tarnia! All facebooking except for Tarnia, playing with her games on her mommy's iPhone.
Tarnia knows which is iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4!
Kids are all so smart these days. And they make us happy! =)
Always looking forward for CNY because of the smiles we put on our faces. Everyone is happy, and I hope we all can be as happy as that all the time!
Wishing all of you a very happy new year! Well wishes and be prosperous in this year and in the near future!

KARL Henry today brushed aside any thoughts that Wolves were suffering an indifferent pre-season by declaring: "All that matters is where we are on August 11.
A strong "reserve" side were held to a goalless draw by Brighton at Compton yesterday, while Henry captained the team beaten 1-0 by Doncaster on Wednesday night.
Other than that, Wolves' explosive second-half burst accounted for Bray 4-0 but they have only drawn with Conference side Grays and League of Ireland outfit Bohemians.
But clearly results are far from the be-all and end-all of any pre-season, and Henry insists the mood is good with the big kick-off just a fortnight away.
"We were disappointed on Wednesday because, although it was a friendly, make no bones about it, we wanted to win," he said.
"But pre-season is all about fitness first and foremost, and preparing for the new campaign.
"Of course, you don't want to be going into the season on the back of however many defeats, you want to be going in on a high.
"But at the same time you could win all your pre-season games and then expectations might get ridiculously high.
"There are still two weeks to go, and a few games left, and the mood in the camp is still very high. We've been working hard both here and on tour in Ireland and everyone is buzzing and will not let a game or a result affect our preparations.
"The new lads are fitting in well, it's all about gelling, and I'm sure we'll be 100 per cent fit and ready for the start of the season which is when it really matters."
Yesterday's game with Brighton included run-outs for the likes of Wayne Hennessey, Mark Little, Neill Collins, Jody Craddock, Rob Edwards, Jay Bothroyd and Stephen Elliott, while Michael Gray made his debut as a 78th-minute substitute.
One downside was the hamstring injury to transfer-listed striker Jemal Johnson, which is likely to put off any interested parties for the immediate future.
Next up is Cheltenham tomorrow in a game moved to Kidderminster due to the flooding in Gloucestershire.
Henry, who enjoyed a spell on loan at Cheltenham under John Ward during his Stoke days, is keen for Wolves to get on track.
"Whatever we say about results it would be nice to get a win under our belts against Cheltenham and give everyone some confidence and a bit of a lift," he added.

U.S., Mexico Launch High Level Economic Dialogue
The U.S. and Mexico launched Sept. 20 in Mexico City a bilateral High Level Economic Dialogue, which aims to advance strategic economic and commercial priorities central to promoting mutual economic growth, job creation and global competitiveness. "This global economy is changing fast and we need to keep up," said Vice President Joe Biden in remarks announcing the HLED. "NAFTA … was 20 years ago," and "the 21st century demands even higher standards to meet the full potential of world trade." The State Department adds that the HLED reflects an understanding that maintaining the global competitiveness of both the U.S. and Mexico will require "continued and deepened economic integration, commercial exchange, and policy alignment."
According to information from the U.S. government, the HLED will meet annually at the Cabinet level and include members of both the public and private sectors. Areas of focus, which may be delegated to subcommittees, will include the following.
Promoting competitiveness and connectivity: improving transportation and telecommunications links and networks, including border infrastructure
Fostering economic growth, productivity, entrepreneurship and innovation: joint efforts to attract foreign direct investment, improving manufacturing within integrated supply chains, economic development on the border and a comprehensive economic development strategy, making effective use of the North American Development Bank, and partnership on advanced manufacturing, entrepreneurship and workforce development
Partnering for regional and global leadership – partnering to promote development in Central America, regional trade priorities, and transparency and anti-corruption

Bridging the Gap at the YWCA's Drop-In Child Care Center
Jammie Wright was stuck. A single mom with three children, she was working full-time towards a Surgical Tech Certificate at A-B Tech so that she would have more employment opportunities. Yet she didn't have the resources for full-time childcare, and was on the waiting list to receive a state child care voucher. Her two high school-aged daughters were missing school because they had to help care for Jammie's infant daughter, Tiraji, while she attended classes.
Jammie is just one of thousands of parents in Buncombe County who are seeking to build skills, secure benefits, or seek employment – yet are challenged by a lack of affordable child care. The cost of full-time child care in Buncombe County averages at a whopping $7,280 a year. While state-funded child care subsidies are available for those who fall within a certain income range, subsidies are only available if the parent is working full time. Thus, many parents find themselves in a catch 22; they can't apply for a childcare voucher without a job, and they can't apply for a job without childcare. Other parents like Jammie qualify for a voucher but end up on the waiting list for years.
Fortunately, A-B Tech told Jammie about the YWCA's Drop-In Child Care Center, which offers case assistance and high quality child care at no cost to families seeking economic security by pursuing education, job training or accessing vital social services like Work First, substance abuse treatment, or legal matters. Childcare is available 58 hours per week, Monday through Friday, and parents like Jammie are able to access up to 12 hours of free child-care per week.
Families in financial crisis are often faced with compounding issues of unemployment/underemployment, recovery from substance abuse, child custody issues, substandard housing, lack of education and domestic violence. Providing children of these participants no cost child care and a nutritious lunch allows parents peace of mind and the time to pursue their economic security goals. "There's a gap between being unemployed, a stay-at-home mom, escaping a dangerous situation, or being under-skilled – trying to get from that point to a point of stability. Our Drop-In Child Care helps bridge that gap for families," says Angie Rainey, Drop-In Coordinator.
Over the past three years, the YW has helped 531 families improve economic security. Of those families, 40 secured full time jobs, 95 secured part-time jobs, 22 persons with disabilities secured benefits, 21 enrolled in a four year college, 121 enrolled in community colleges or vocational training, and 40 obtained other training. Further, the Center provided 1,000 children with 15,000 hours of quality care while their parents worked to improve their family's economic situation.
Jammie's daughter Tiraji was cared for at the YWCA from the time that she was 4 months until she was 10 months old – allowing Jammie and her two older daughters to focus on their education. At the end of April 2013, after two years on the waiting list, Jammie began receiving child care vouchers, so Tiraji could now attend a full-time certified child care center. Jammie graduated with a certificate in June, 2013 and she's now pursuing a Medical Assistant Associate Degree. "I wouldn't have been able to further my education if not for Drop-In at the YWCA," Jammie says. "I can't thank them enough for all the help and support. My family is very grateful."
"When parents come here they feel a sense of freedom," says Angie. "Drop-In gives them more choices about their life… they're not stuck anymore."
In the past year, the elimination of North Carolina's Displaced Homemakers Fund and the reduction of Divorce Filing Fees has caused a $55,000 loss to the program. We are fortunate to have support from the United Way, Buncombe County, and Women for Women, but the program is seeking an additional $82,000 in contributions and grants for the coming fiscal year.

Student Success Spotlight
We have a special student success story for April, which is Volunteer Appreciation Month. Student Tom wrote this letter to his tutor, Ahmed, completely unsolicited. We asked him if we could share it with you, and he graciously said that we could.
Volunteers, see how you change lives!
To my dear tutor at Literacy Advance:
If I had not had you as my tutor in 2017, my career would be incredibly different. I am not saying it would be bad - but you improved my speaking, reading and writing. What I can, which I never thought possible, is speak with potential employers confidently and fluently in English. You took me as a beginner in the language and helped talking with my boss without any hesitation.
|Student Tom, left, practices job interview skills with volunteer tutor Ahmed, right, in 2017.
It is important to me that all of you know how important you really are. I diligently tried to find help with my English. You and the Literacy Advance of Houston team have taken part in helping me in progressing. What does one say when thank you can't express the way truly feel?
Before going to bed I read an article as you advised. I am not sure if anyone has ever told you the impact you have made in my life, and how much you are truly appreciated for all you do. I want to take this opportunity to share with you my accomplishments starting this program.
I am so happy because Literacy Advance is a nice place to learn my second language. Everyone is very nice and kind-hearted. Although I was trying to keep my place there, I know there are a lot of people waiting for a chance to take a class since room limited. Now I practice English at home by watching TV and DVD while cooking or exercising.
Finally, I want to say thank you to Literacy Advance and especially to my tutor, Ahmed, for his valuable time and patience, and everything he does for the other students and me. There are still a lot of people that need help to learn English and I hope they will be as lucky as I am.
Sincerely yours,
In 2017, 257 Literacy Advance volunteer tutors gave 18,801 hours to their classes. That time is valued at a whopping $453,856 by the Independent Sector! Every dollar you give to Literacy Advance is magnified by the generous gift of time by our hundreds of volunteers.
Please give today - and know that the value of your donation will be increased by a wonderful volunteer's time and expertise. THANK YOU!

I think the thing that is most daunting to me about training for the PCT in 2013 is purposefully going out there and hiking solo, camping solo, and ultimately backpacking solo. It's one of those things that I'm tempted to just hold out and wait until I'm actually on the trail to experience, but I'm pretty sure that would be disastrous. It would suck to get to the trail, only to find out I truly am too scardey-cat to hike it solo.
And it is possible I am too scaredy-cat. One of my first backpacking trips was a week on the PCT in Oregon. My husband Aaron and I ended up at Mt. Jefferson park at the end of June in a big snow year. It was too early for most PCT'ers and too snowy for most hikers, so we were the only ones there, and it was beautiful. (I think maybe seeing snow covered Mt. Jefferson so close and personal sealed the deal for me to want to continue this whole backpacking thing.) By this time, for various reasons, we were already considering feasible ways to get off the trail. Mostly, we were just hoping to run into somebody, anybody that could take us back to civilization.
It was Breitenbush where we saw our first person, a big man in a white truck setting up camp down the way. At first I was so excited to not just see a person, but a person with transportation! Aaron headed down to his camp to ask for a ride while I set up our own tent. As I set up, I kept looking over toward where Aaron had gone, feeling more and more ill at ease. Suddenly the fact this guy was here all by himself struck me as odd. Why was he here? What was he doing? All alone? So early in the season, and in all this snow? After a long time, Aaron came back and said the guy couldn't/wouldn't give a ride, and his reasons were vague. My husband just shrugged, but to me it was a kind of validation to my suspicions. I couldn't get it out of my head, and that night, even though Aaron fell asleep and began snoring almost instantly, I tossed and turned with growing fear and paranoia.
What's to stop this guy from coming over here with an ax and killing us, I wondered. Nothing. He could be heading over here now, blade in hand, planning where to bury our bones after he raped us and ate us, or whatever it is that ax murders do. I began to admonish myself for never taking self-defense classes. The scenario played and replayed over and over in my head, becoming more clear and tactile with every pass through. Every sound confirmed approach.
I got out of my sleeping bag so I could kick and punch and flail about if I needed to, but I was too afraid to actually look outside. I tried to wake my husband up and whispered my fears into his ear, but he just mumbled and turned over. I was pretty much stuck like that all night, frozen in fear, unable to sleep until the last few hours of dark.
Of course in the bright morning light, I laughed at myself for my over active imagination. Obviously everything was fine. When we passed his camp, he wasn't even there anymore, and my irrational fears of the night before gave way to the more understandable irritation that this dude had no qualms leaving us, who needed a ride, for no good (as I saw) reason. We found a ride later that day at Ollalie Lake. Thank you Mark and Tim from Lincoln City, Oregon!
So. My much belabored point is that I can work myself up into crazy fear. Even when I'm with somebody, and with no evidence of there being anything to be scared about. I figure this tendency toward ruminating over scary scenarios, in effect making them stronger and scarier, is going to be even worse all alone in a tent.
Thus begins a new phase of my PCT training: Exposure to the thing that scares me in effort to make those fears more manageable, so that I can hike the PCT successfully, A.K.A. "Operation Man-Up, Lady!" More to come!

The Geek has been slacking a bit... Yeah I know... I blame 3D origami taking too much of my time... Plus Candy Crush... XD But I couldn't resist any longer!! I have been staring at these crisps forever!
I saw this flavour in the supermarket and thought that it was quite interesting. Bolognaise flavour. Who would have thought of that?! The French of course. Heheh.
|Pom'lisse Bolognaise Flavour
Well these taste a little beefy with a bit of a tomato taste, and also a slight onion taste to it, but it's rather salty to my liking, even though I actually quite like it!
|Same colour as it is on the packet XD
There's nothing like a different flavour, but there's nothing too special about them. Just bring more flavours to the UK!!
Cost: €0.85 for a 135g packet - Gosh. I need to go to France more often!!

While these challenges will require actions by federal and state governments, they also call for action by individual health systems. Actions by individual health systems will not only help to address these challenges, but also can provide models to inform government of practices that could be taken to scale. As individual health systems look for innovative approaches to meet these challenges, looking outside the health care industry holds promise.

Hotels Queens Park London Visitants To This Hotel Were As Well Interested In
With direct maintenance to Oxford Circus, queensway London Underground Station has been two miles away and is always on the Central line, Chancery Lane or even St.
Mostly a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at property in question usually can write a review.
This enables us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Mostly, without limiting expression or strong opinions, these guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and familyfriendly. They're likewise applicable not even considering the comment's tone. It's a well for a budget price we got specifically what they needed -a comfortable bed, cosy or clean room, essential but ample breakfast. Accordingly the staff were efficient, polite or even friendly. Immensely disappointed with the size and room state!the breakfast room once again was tatty and needs updating.

books, get somewhere, Indie, reading, self publishing, writing
This is it. You watch the world whirl by and you're sitting there following the rules and doing everything the traditionalists tell you to do. And, guess what? Tomorrow is another day. And then, there's another day. The world doesn't stop turning, waiting for you to get your act together. If you're going to do something–make something happen–you have to just do it. Tennis shoes weren't the first to think of this, I bet. So, I'm doing it, writing fiction, making it happen for myself because I'm tired of waiting, tired of following the rules, and getting nowhere. So, here I am, embarking on the Indie writing frontier. If you decide to read my work, I want to take this moment to say: thank you so much!

...Out Like a Lamb
10 comments:
That is super adorable! I think you're really good at nail art. I just discovered your blog yesterday and spent all day at work in between phone calls reading it. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Aw, thank you! That's so nice of you. I'm glad you're enjoying it!Delete
Your little lamb is so adorable! I love him!ReplyDelete
I'm not a big fan of spring (the allergies are not worth it), but I am looking forward to more trips to the drive-in, walks outside, and wearing skirts without tights again. And oh man, I remember reading your blog when you first posted Pretty Edgy. That was forever ago!Replies
I KNOW. My swatches from that Essie collection are all over Pinterest for some reason.Delete
Hi Steph, Happy April (and what a cute little lamb)!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Dovey!Delete
I have never heard of that saying before so I was very confused at first… thanks for clearing things up though haha! The lamb is adorable and fits very well with the 'theme'. I mean, even if it still doesn't feel quite like spring outside, how can you not feel really freaking happy with a lamb on your nail???ReplyDelete
I'm surprised you had never heard that saying because we're both Midwesterners! Maybe Ohio has a weird school curriculum and teaches odd things.Delete
- AnonymousApril 2, 2014 at 9:59 AM
I was trying to figure out why I had never heard of this saying and actually googled it to be hit with hundreds of images of lions and lambs with all manner of activities and drawings for schoolchildren and then lightbulb - I grew up in the southern hemisphere - March isn't a lion or a lamb there it's actually a pretty hot month.ReplyDelete
I'd also never heard of rabbit, rabbit, rabbit so google again - thanks Steph for increasing my general knowledge!
Now back on topic your nails look adorable and that is the cutest lamb evah. Love the green too.Replies
Oh my goodness, yes! Living in the southern hemisphere would definitely mean that March isn't a beast like it is here. I love rabbit, rabbit! I'm so glad that I could teach you some animal month folklore-ery!Delete
I love, love, love your comments, guys! Thanks so much for leaving them! I try to respond to questions either in the comments section or in forthcoming posts, so check back later!

Barbara Hepworth, Single Form, 1968, Irish black marble on wood base Pallant House Gallery (Hussey Bequest, Chichester District Council, 1985) © Bowness, Hepworth Estate
For many British artists in the years following the Second World War, abstraction was seen as an international language that transcended the specifics of place and subject. In 1956 the Tate Gallery held an exhibition entitled 'Modern Art in the United States', which included the first significant showing of the work of Abstract Expressionist artists in the UK, including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, and Barnett Newman. The size and vitality of the works made a great impression on British artists and Patrick Heron wrote of how he was, 'instantly elated by the size, energy, originality, economy, and inventive daring of many of the paintings.' He and other artists, including William Scott and Alan Davie, also met these artists in New York during the 1950s.
Like the Abstract Expressionists, the European 'Art Informel' and 'Tachist' artists (from the French 'tache', a stain) such as Jean-Paul Riopelle, Sam Francis and Denis Bowen believed that the individual psyche harbours deep feelings that can be brought to the picture surface only by means of extremely free techniques.
In contrast, the abstract constructions of artists such as Victor Pasmore and Anthony Hill and of the 1960s 'New Generation' sculptors such as Anthony Caro and William Tucker were characterised by complete abstraction, modern materials and a new relationship with the spectator.
Key works include: 'Single Form (Nocturne)', (1968) by Barbara Hepworth and 'Black and White: April' (1956) by Patrick Heron.

On the day of departure we will meet you when you depart.
This gem property is new to the market commencing November 2014. It is a lovely light airy house and it is beautifully furnished, very comfortable and has the most idyllic view with direct access onto a lovely sandy beach. You can swim on this beach as there is a reef which creates a safe water zone. There are lots of rock pools for the shrimping enthusiast and small children would be in heaven.

My name is Charlotte. I adore all animals as they are so uncomplicated ! What you see is what you get !
I am off to university next year to study Vetinary science and who knows where I will end up then...maybe tropical med for animals in S Africa !
I am from Europe and have been smitten by South Africa, and when I came across this idyllic house, on the Garden Route, while holidaying in the Western Cape, I just fell in love with it - I think you will too.
This area of stunning natural beauty offers so much in terms of water sports activities, gourmet delights in the amazing award winning restaurants of the winelands, the abundance of nature reserves, and the proximity to City life, make it a number one choice for any holiday maker.
Enjoy !
Charlotte Storm purchased this villa in 2014
Situated on the Whale Coast in the little coastal village of Gordon's Bay, the family friendly Bikini Beach is one of Cape Town's six Blue Flag Beaches, indicating a high level of water quality, facilities, cleanliness and safety.
The house is a one off design within a gated estate, 24 hour manned security. The property sits right on the beach and the beauty of this beach is that it is safe to swim on, in that it has its own little reef - so that the bathers can swim at their leisure. For the fitness enthusiast, there is a swimming pool and a tennis court within the grounds. What is really great about this property is that - within not much more than half an hour, you can be in the centre of Capetown, or sitting in Stellenbosch enjoying the delights of the historic winelands, or on Safari, or at the renowned little town of Hermanus where the whales come to have their young. Just 4 kms for the house visit Blue Rock Cable Waterski - An exciting and thrilling water activity awaits you at Blue Rock Lake. There are so many nature reserves, and hiking trails to explore too. Just lots and lots and lots to do. See for yourself.
When you open the front door of this house - you are immediately captured by the blue of the sea. The sea sometimes feels like it is actually in the house. You hear the water, you smell the salt, you are mesmerised by the view. This light filled house is literally on the sands with a small grass lawn to relax on. As well as having direct access to the sea, and the myriad of rock pools, the house also boasts a sheltered BBQ area, so that no matter what the weather there is an outdoor/indoor space where you can still enjoy the outdoors without being exposed to any wind, during the windy periods. Apart from a very good and well equipped kitchen, there is also a great utility space to hold suitcases, laundry, golf clubs etc. There is also a garage, which may be useful to some holiday makers, although there is ample safe on street parking.
This piece of Paradise is a treasure and everything it is hyped up to be, from the superb layout of the house, the amenities on the estate, the waves lapping on the doorstep on an idyllic sandy beach and its proximity to the heart of the Winelands, Cape Town and Cape Point.
The house is superbly furnished. It is bright and airy, with copious space. It is equipped with satellite tv & wi-fi neither of which we barely used as there is so much to do in the vicinity. There are tremendous domestic facilities too which makes it all very easy to prepare food and clear away afterwards. There are also lovely lounging areas - and one can easily get away from 'the crowd'.
We only had a short stay, but the children made us promise that we will come back again to this property next year, even if its wintertime! ......
We cannot fault any part of our memorable time here it was just such a peaceful heaven.
We had an amazing time at our stay in Gordon's Bay. The house is really big an accommodated two children, two parents and two grandparents with a whole room to spare!
Positives of the property:
- We cannot say enough about the views from this place! Sunsets every night that are breathtaking and the water looks so clear in the afternoons.
- Bill, the manager onsite, was incredible and provided us with everything we could possibly need for our stay (a baby cot with mattress and linens), tennis balls and even a blow dryer. Wonderful service from him!
- So much linens for bedding and towels. We never had to worry about running out.
- Nice big washer and dryer.
- Plenty of cleaning products and cooking utensils for us to use.
- Bathrooms for each room plus another half bath (you can't have too many).
- Access to the beach from the back patio. For us, low tide was in the morning so we could take the kids tide-pooling to check out little crabs and starfish and have a play in the water. It is protected from waves during low tide due to the reef - ideal for kids!
Things to improve:
- Finding the property was a bit difficult (I should have tried to get directions sooner). But once we found it everything else was easy.
- There were a couple (friendly) cockroaches that came to visit us during the day. This is Africa though so it wasn't a major concern.
- Just a warning for those with small children, there are stairs throughout the property so just be aware of that. However, we were able to block off an area downstairs with toys for our kids so it wasn't much of a problem. And lots of handrails everywhere helped us tremendously.
Overall, I would say that this is a perfect house for a large family or a few couples. Lots of space and amenities for everyone and a large dining table with a stunning view to congregate. Definitely worth recommending. You will not be disappointed.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Gordon's Bay villa. It is a spacious, well- appointed home with decent wifi and great cable. However, there is so much to see close by, you won't really want to sit in the house on your devices! The view is stunning and the location is convenient to Stellenbosch wineries, Hermanus, Cape of Good Hope and Cape Town. Bill, the manager, was so helpful with directions and recommendations. The house is in a gated community and has an alarm system, so safety is secured. Highly recommended!
This is a beautiful house with a gorgeous location and was immaculate when we entered.
However, it should not be rented in winter as there is no functioning central heating. The space heaters provided were inadequate. Due to several glitches we also had no WiFi during our entire stay nor hot water in the kitchen the first evening.
Wait for summer!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time here in a secure residential area along the waterfront of False Bay. The home is spacious, nicely appointed and very functional. Our time here was TOO SHORT!
Proximity to Cape Town, Two Oceans Aquarium, Table Mountain National Park,
Cape Point Nature Reserve and the Cape of Good Hope, the V& A Waterfront and the wine route in the Stellenbosch area were amazing. So much more to see and do!
Hopefully a repeat trip in the future will be possible.
The Neighbourhood
This beautiful house is situated on a Private Beach, within an exclusive gated estate with Swimming Pool and Tennis Court.
This house is just 30 mins drive to Capetown Airport. It is a 45 minute drive to Capetown Centre and all the buzz of the City and Watefront areas.
Set in this idyllic friendly seaside village forty five minutes from Cape Town, the Hottentot mountains rise around us & enjoy a panorama of the False Bay Coast. Gordon's Bay has two Yacht Harbours.
There are no less than five excellent Golf Courses nearby including the Championship courses of Eirnvale & Stellenbosch Country Club .
Go scuba diving, spear fishing, boat charters, cage diving with sharks, whale watching and all other possible water sports.
Enjoy some Wine tasting on the famous Stellenbosch wine route only twenty minutes away. Experience the very interesting and atmospheric Cape Dutch Architecture of the old town of Stellenbosch. There are also Fruit Route Tours to the Elgin region and the wonder of the Nature Reserve of Cape Point.
The road from Gordons Bay to Rooi Els is incredibly scenic and offers an exhilarating bike ride.

There is an abundance of good restaurants. There are breathtaking ocean drives & countless activities to experience in this very beautiful part of the Cape...will make your stay a holiday to remember.

- NO KIDS?! Once you walk through the doors, you'll notice straight ahead to the right is our "Welcome" table where you can grab a quick refreshment, ask any questions you may have or just wave and say, "I think I can figure it out from here…"
- Once you've met your limit on visiting in the commons area, you can follow the massive directional signs straight to our AUDITORIUM where you'll be greeted once again by people who will help you find a seat. You're likely to find yourself thinking, "I'm pretty sure I saw Despicable Me 3 in here!"

The Middle Ages remixed in contemporary culture
What do graffiti and medieval manuscripts have in common?
The Dutch graffiti artist Shoe is finding out, and you can read about his graffiti art, commissioned in celebration of the Lindisfarne Gospels.
Yes, folks, he actually does, right here at houseoffame.blogspot.com
A comedy sketch performed by the British actor and comedian Bill Bailey. In Middle English, no less! Bonus points if you can identify the literary allusions (Chaucer and otherwise) in the sketch.
In Jan. 2012 in NYC, the Canadian rap artist Baba Brinkman was performing his one-man show, The Canterbury Tales Remixed, off-Broadway at the Soho Playhouse. Was it any good, you ask? Judge for yourself: here's a portion of the Pardoner's Tale from the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
They might produce mashups primarily for high school students, but History Teachers have made some pretty fine medieval-themed music videos. Like this Canterbury Tales one:
Did you know Neil Gaiman could sing? Neither did I. Did you know he knows Josh Ritter? Me neither. Did you know they've got a song about Joan of Arc? Now you do. That's at least three kinds of awesome in one two-minute video.

The animation planet is actually struggling as of late. A latest sign of periods, A.D Vision who introduced you popular titles like: Appleseed, Elfen Lied, and etc. have just lately introduced their closing the doorways. That is suitable, owing to regrettable sells in a number of titles they have been pressured to close down their doorways for excellent, including other issues, which has direct other companies to decide on up a number of titles like described above.
In addition, the economic system has revealed no grace in direction of anime expert as companies like Geneon and Central Park media has shut down their doorways for excellent filing for individual bankruptcy. What is the key perpetrator of this distress? It can be attributed in direction of distinct elements like, financial periods, DVD sales, and ultimately failures in advertising and marketing ways. The most important trouble this sector is struggling with takes place to offer specifically with copyright infringement. What precisely does this imply? There are a number of internet sites out there, who are distributing totally free animation to consumers over the Entire world Wide Internet nevertheless, these internet sites are failing to pay back any royalties to any of the artist. What precisely does this imply? It doesn't get a person with a PhD in economics to determine out that when there is no need for a merchandise, there is no want for source. In this case, their is no want for source but heaps of need. In fact, the exact same incredibly faithful enthusiasts who appreciate their sector are in actuality killing it.
Even the large companies who are the key provides of dubbed animation in the United States, like Funimation, are experience the outcomes. It can be only a issue of time, at this charge, right before animation is totally long gone from the United States. Japanese companies are swiftly adapting to periods by making an attempt to sign onto founded website agencies. Crunchy roll, one particular of the only legal streaming on the net companies who give animation are, in actuality, paying out royalties to the artist.
American animation companies want to swiftly obtain new methods to industry their merchandise. Periods have changed the aged technique of offering DVD's has swiftly develop into outdated. Some recommendations I would wish this sector would incorporate:
1) Formal Streaming Websites from each enterprise, adopted with a monthly membership price.
two) As the saying goes, "there's gold in them hills." United States is previously having up the marvel comic e-book sector still, the animation sector has a great deal additional in depth and superior potential story-traces, which can quickly be tailored to the large monitor. Isn't it about time to give titles like Harry Potter, Watchmen, GI Joe, even Lord of the Rings a run for their revenue?
three) Revenue should really appear from items, not from direct dvd sales. Firms should really sign onto these kinds of toy industries and get illustrations of giants in the field: beanie infants, ninja turtles, the checklist can go on endlessly.
4) Video Online games is a field there are gradually merging with, nevertheless, this merger is normally in favor of the online video activity sector. The potential these kinds of animation titles can have you check with? Just seem at the long online video activity series, Dragon Ball Z, which was rated by most critics as a awful preventing activity. What carried it? It can be not tricky to determine out.
Animation companies want to obtain distinct methods to make revenue off of their merchandise. The key target should really be on offering totally free broadcast of their titles the key target currently being on simply just advertising and marketing their merchandise. The most effective way to carry out this is by offering a totally free animation cable channel. Inevitably, the possibilities of this taking place are slender to none. Nonetheless, these kinds of fluctuations witnessed in past expending tendencies can be matched in direction of past mass totally free distributions. Toonami, a common animation series that ran on Cartoon Community had a incredibly productive launch on the score scale for simply just a couple of animation titles. As a result, at the time, no unlawful animation streaming internet sites had been obtainable through the Entire world Wide Internet, which can be specifically attributed in direction of their achievements. On the other hand, the aged 'anime expending rush' can be specifically joined in direction of this party, if not regarded as the anime little one increase. In small, animation companies want to quit relying on dvd sales, in actuality, this should really be thought of as their the very least kind of income technology. They want to seem at other marketplaces, and discover how to incorporate this into revenue for them.
In fact, the question actually is will the animation sector discover to adapt. The Japanese show signals of lifetime, but the Americans are gradually withering absent. There are however some guarantees out there for feasible sparks of lifetime. On the other hand, this is swiftly sniffed out by some brief announcement of a unsuccessful trend. Will this sector ever recuperate? Only time will convey to.

I have much to learn about the history of Seattle and habitation of the area prior to the arrival of pioneer settlers in 1851, but one thing is that evident just walking around the city is that for the wealthy in the early 1900s it must have been an exciting place to be. Unaware of the depression that would hit in the 1930s, and boyant with the exuberance of hosting the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition international fair it was a time of enormous city development. Although Seattle was already building a reputation for radicalism, as the ship builders started off what turned in to a general strike in 1919, the longest such strike in American history. What a great time architecturally for a city to be growing up. Whilst too many of the beautiful art deco buildings are well gone it is still completely evident as you walk the streets and see both commercial and residential buildings of the time that this was a boom period in Seattle – which interestingly has a history of booms and busts.
In amongst of all of this movie palaces were key entertainment sites, with Seattle having more than 50. 1928 saw Paramount Pictures building their own – The Paramount, on the edge of the then entertainment area in the city. To make up for its location the building shone with an opulence and grandeur the city had not seen before – the cinema's website recounts the Seattle Times reporting:
"Never has such a magnificent cathedral of entertainment been given over to the public. Indescribable beauty! Incomparable art! The stage productions will be of the most lavish design, brilliant in their lighting effects and gorgeous in their settings."
It is still gorgeous in its faded glory, and very exciting to be in. Especially when it is to see films also created in that period – silents accompanied by a skilled performer on the theatre's original Wurlitizer Theatre Pipe Organ. It is so tempting to don a flapper dress and start dancing… The place is fantastic – mostly thanks to Ida Cole an ex Microsoft Chief Exec (their first female Vice President) who invested much time and $30 million in its restoration and updating. The history is well covered in this great write up, which includes some wonderful memories of Seattle residents. There are free tours of the building the first Saturday of every month – I'm really keen to sign up for one (perhaps that is when I get to wear the frock???).
The theatre is run by Seattle Theatre Group (STG) and their annual programme includes a winter season of 'Silent Movie Mondays.' You won't be surprised to hear that we have tickets for all four (there are three more in June that I'm already excited about). We are half way through, having seen the 1927 Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans and 1929 Pandora's Box. This season STG have invited curation from a number of Seattle film community sources.
Sunrise was selected by house organist Jim Riggs. I hadn't seen it before and loved it. In introducing it film critic Robert Horton spoke of its poetic, lyric, expressionistic and sometimes dreamlike qualities. Jim also highlighted the advanced cinematography for the time – there were certainly plenty of daring and delightful film techniques. He also spoke of the colour in the shades of grey – I think this is one of the many things that draws me to these films, given my practice in Japanese Zen calligraphy where again grey is the only 'colour' and is able to represent so much variation and colour.
This week we saw Pandora's Box, selected by Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) linking with their current Women in Cinema Festival. The 1920s didn't see women with significant roles making films, but in front of the camera they were central. Louise Brooks who stars is seen as helping to create the whole flapper girl movement, along with the reputation that went along with it – Beth Barrett from SIFF described her as living a very "active" life!! Her career was significant but short, she never moved in to talking movies and remains a true silent era star. Interestingly, she left Hollywood for the East Coast and reinvented herself in later life as a film critic, writer and film historian. In Pandora's Box she is able to compel men with a single look, and the cloud of tragedy which follows her captures and destroys them. Googling afterwards I learnt that Pandora's Box includes probably the first explicitly lesbian character in film, Alice Walters wonderfully playing the Countess Geschwitz. At the time she was cut out of many releases in many counties by censors though – although so were a number of other scenes. It is an altogether very risqué take on relationships for the 1920s society, hetro-sexual ones included.
Next Monday we get to see the 1924 Peter Pan – this will be accompanied by both organ and harp, how wonderful. Jim Riggs being joined by Leslie McMichael. Selected by Northwest Film Forum, link it with their internationally famous Children's Film Festival. The season ends with The General (1926) a Buster Keaton classic chosen by The Paramount's long time film projectionist Mile McRae. It contains the most expensive stunt of the silent era in its portrayal of a train on a burning bridge. Shot in Oregon, remains of the train and track can still be seen in Row River when the water is low!
The series is called Adored and Restored – it so fantastic that we can still see these movies, many more are long or more recently lost. It is estimated that only 14% of the films made between 1912 -1930 remain in their original format. In the USA the National Film Preservation Foundation is core to keeping these films alive, but many other bodies are helping – including The Film Foundation founded by Martin Scorese.
I am deeply grateful to STG for enabling me to see them here in Seattle, in the the most appropriate setting I could imagine. From arriving in the grand foyer – taking your seat accompanied by pre-feature organ music – munching through the free bags of pop-corn, peanut cups and other sugar hits from sponsors Trader Joe's – to the audience applause at the end – it is just magical. Oh and talking of magic – we are paying $8 (£4.85) for each ticket. You have to love Seattle.
Now – back to looking for that frock…

Sanctuary Cities
Sanctuary Cities in America
Blue areas went for Hillary
In the United States or Canada, a sanctuary city is a city that has adopted a policy of protecting undocumented immigrants by not prosecuting them solely for violating federal immigration laws in the country in which they are now living illegally. Such a policy can be set out expressly in a law (de jure) or observed only in practice (de facto). The term applies generally to cities that do not use municipal funds or resources to enforce national immigration laws, and usually forbid police or municipal employees to inquire about a person's immigration status. The designation has no precise legal meaning per wikipedia
It seems to me that if you live in America, the same laws should apply to everyone. The laws are there, we just need to enforce them. It seems to me that it would be safer for everyone.
